On the other hand, Nangong Xiyun returned to the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
There was a group of Seven Stars Sword Sect members waiting for the negotiation results, and they were all eager to know the outcome.
"How is it? What happened to Lin Xuan?"
Nangong Xiyun shook her head. "He refused."
"Damn it."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect is truly infuriating."
Nangong Xiyun said, "There will be results in a few days, be patient. Let the poisoned disciples go for treatment first."
Since Nangong Xiyun had spoken, they had no choice but to wait.
Nangong Xiyun led the poisoned disciples to Medicine King Valley.
The remaining Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples turned their angry glares toward Su Luo and Situ Ye.
Both of them were bound by magical ropes, unable to resist at all.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do?" Situ Ye shouted, feeling much better now.
"You don't expect us to treat you nicely, do you?"
"Don’t make a move. You don’t want Lin Xuan to get hurt, do you?"
"Of course I don’t want that, but you’re also afraid of dying. If Lin Xuan dies, you’ll die too. Attack!"
As they said this, a group surrounded and pummeled Situ Ye with chaotic punches and kicks.
Su Luo watched from the side, feeling uneasy, though he wasn’t afraid of being beaten. With half of the damage he sustained negated due to his cultivation level and powerful physique, no one other than Nangong Xiyun could breach his defenses.
Su Luo was considering whom he could transfer the damage to, perhaps Situ Ye? That seemed too diabolical, so it would still be Situ Ye.
Meanwhile, Xie Feiran untied Su Luo's bindings and respectfully said, "Su Demon Lord, we hope you will show mercy and spare Lin Xuan."
That’s not right.
Even though it wasn’t right, Su Luo quickly responded, "Spare him? Don’t even think about it!"
"Don’t be angry. Come, come, let’s sit down and have some tea first."
"You’re quite sensible."
Su Luo was treated with courtesy, while Situ Ye was subjected to merciless beatings.
"Stop!" Situ Ye raised his hand and shouted.
The others actually stopped.
"Why are you only beating me? What about him?"
"He and Lin Xuan have a grudge to settle. Being nice to him gives Lin Xuan a better chance of surviving," Xie Feiran explained.
"Well, I also have a grudge against Lin Xuan. I won’t let him off!"
"A grudge? Then let’s settle both old and new grudges for Lin Xuan. Beat him up!"
"Why!"
"We don’t need to explain ourselves to you!"
As Xie Feiran spoke, he joined the crowd, and everyone started pummeling Situ Ye again.
Meanwhile, Su Luo remained unbothered, sipping tea as if he had nothing to do.
After a long while, the Seven Stars Sword Sect members finally stopped and placed Su Luo and Situ Ye in a corner.
Situ Ye’s already not-so-handsome face had become even worse.
"Tsk tsk, you okay? Still alive?" Su Luo gave him a slap to show concern.
"Wha..."
"What?"
He couldn’t even speak properly now. Poor guy.
"Why was I the only one beaten!" Situ Ye suddenly burst with intense resentment.
As members of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Seven Falling Stars, and even though he was a traitor to the Seven Stars Sword Sect, why was he the only one getting hurt?!
Su Luo didn’t know either but guessed it had something to do with Little Yu. He couldn't say that though.
Su Luo said, "It’s their strategy."
"A strategy? What strategy! Are you trying to trick me?"
Su Luo patiently explained.
"Think about it, if we both got beaten, we’d both resent the Seven Stars Sword Sect."
"But now only you’re getting beaten, and I’m unharmed. Wouldn’t you resent them and also resent me? Even though I didn’t do anything, you’d blame me. That’s unfair to me."
"This is their strategy—to sow discord between us, to shift half of your hatred toward me."
Su Luo explained a whole lot, and Situ Ye actually found it convincing.
"But, didn’t we already have problems?"
"They don’t know that."
It seemed logical.
And it was logical. Situ Ye wasn’t the only one, even Su Luo had convinced himself.
"Then why was it you who wasn’t beaten but me? You even betrayed the Seven Stars Sword Sect!"
Hmm, that was hard to refute. From that perspective, it seemed Su Luo was more likely to be beaten.
Su Luo tried to explain, "Maybe tomorrow it’ll be me? Who knows what’s coming in the future? How can you be sure it’ll always be you?"
That made sense. Hearing Su Luo’s reasoning, Situ Ye felt his logic wasn’t flawed.
Maybe tomorrow, Su Luo would be the one getting beaten.
For some reason, Situ Ye began to look forward to tomorrow, to see if Su Luo would be the one suffering.
But the next day, it was still him who was unlucky, enduring another round of beatings.
"Su Luo!"
"Look, this is their strategy. Now you hate me even more. You should hate them instead."
"I don’t care. They’re not hitting you, so I’ll do it!"
Although Situ Ye hadn’t spoken of sharing hardships and joys with Su Luo, only he was getting beaten, and he deeply resented it.
Su Luo kicked him back. "Are you beaten crazy? You’re tied up, and I’m not. What can you do to fight me?"
Situ Ye felt powerless. The pain was not just physical but spiritual.
"What’s going on here? Why are you arguing!" Xie Feiran noticed the commotion and came over.
He instantly knew the reason, or he just made one up to blame Situ Ye.
"Still have the energy, huh? Come here, let us take good care of you."
"Why are you targeting me?"
"You’re not close with Liao Duci, are you? You think we’re here for fun? We’re certainly going to take good care of you."
"No, you can’t do this!"
Situ Ye was dragged into a makeshift prison by several people and started another round of beatings.
Su Luo thought, it’s none of my business; you’re just courting your own doom.
"Su~~~Luo~~~"
A familiar voice called out. Little Yu came in from outside.
She had rushed over immediately after finding out that Su Luo had been captured.
"You’re here."
"Of course, I came as soon as I heard."
Little Yu directly led Su Luo out of the room where they had been temporarily confined, and nobody stopped them.
Little Yu’s status was clearly increasing; Su Luo thought so too.
"Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"
"I’m fine. Everything’s been great."
"Then you need to keep me company. You promised me before." Little Yu hadn’t had a proper time with Su Luo for a long time. She missed the days when she would visit Su Luo every day at the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
"Of course, now that I’m a prisoner here, there’s no escaping."
So, Little Yu and Su Luo strolled and chatted.
Little Yu asked Su Luo many questions, mostly about how he was doing in the Heavenly Demon Sect and if he was living well.
Occasionally, she would share her own experiences, interesting things she had encountered, and breakthroughs in her cultivation.
There was endless conversation, as Little Yu truly had so much she wanted to share with Su Luo.
In the past, Su Luo was the one who talked more, but now the roles had reversed.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
